The first Explore Academy opened its doors as a New Mexico state-authorized charter school in August 2014. The founding team applied for Explore Academy - Las Cruces in June of 2019 and in the spring of 2021, the Public Education Department approved the school's charter.
Explore Academy - Las Cruces opened its doors to students in the fall of 2021.
